Topic: Tag alias: oblivious_sex -> unaware_sex

Related to topic #41489.

Okay, oblivious_sex doesn't have a wiki page, and is only tagged on six posts (two of which are from the same comic).

In the comic ones (post #2730691, post #2801353), yeah, that's oblivious alright. But it is tagged "oblivious", and IMO the oblivious part is more in Toriel having no idea why she's filled after the fact.

post #4165166 is additionally tagged oblivious, unaware_sex, and senses_blocked_trap. The latter three give a clear enough picture to get what's going on without oblivious_sex. post #4258244 has the same tags less unaware_sex. (Both of these have the choice tag unawareacles.)

post #4445062 is trickier. It's seemingly not unaware_sex (not tagged that way either), but has both oblivious_sex and oblivious. OTOH it's hard to TWYS awareness (or otherwise) when the character's in a full hazmat suit.

Apart from the two uses in the comic (May 2022) this is a young tag - all uses are from the last 5 months, tops. Contrast to unaware and oblivious which are both well established. I think oblivious_sex needs to get a better discriminating definition, or at least some more examples. Otherwise there's a good shot that unaware_sex combined with oblivious will cover what this tag would, IMO.

(Note: unaware_sex isn't that long-established, either, but it's a bit better. It has ~90 uses, also dating to around May 2022.)
